Al Pacino Wants To Kill Baby Jesus By Josh Tyler: 2009-02-05 23:32:13 ShareThis Al Pacino Wants To Kill Baby Jesus We’re all pretty sick of Al Pacino playing the same two gangster/cop characters in movie after movie, so I suppose he deserves some credit for trying something different. But I’m not sure anyone expected him do anything this different.
Earlier this week we told you about his plan to play King Lear, and now Variety says he’s lining up to play King Herod, the Jewish ruler who tried to kill baby Jesus. Don’t worry Israelites, as with Passion of the Christ there’s plenty of Messiah-killing wiggle room on this one. Though Herod ruled Judea, identified himself as a Jew, and was considered Jewish by many in his time, he was kind of a Roman puppet and he was actually descended from a group of people known as the Idumaeans. Damn those Idumaeans! What did they have against Christianity?
The movie will be called Mary, Mother of Christ, which I guess means it’ll be huge in Latin America. Camilla Belle, who you can see in Push this weekend, is set to star as the Jesus’s mommy Mary while Jonathan Rhys Meyers gets to play both the angel Gabriel and that asshole Lucifer, also known as Satan! Meanwhile Peter O’Toole will heave himself onto the set, defying the Grim Reaper yet again, this time to play Symeon
In talks along with Pacino is Jessica Lange, who may play Anna the Prophetess.
This is a major, MGM release so don’t expect it to play like a Kirk Cameron movie. MGM’s investing some time in it. Heck just look at the cast. It’s kind of amazing that it’s taken this long for someone to really cash in on the whole Passion of the Christ thing. I wonder if they’re too late, now that the country is no longer run by a president ruling with the mandate of heaven? On the other hand, it did seem like Obama spent almost his entire first week of office praying. Jesus could be ready for another comeback, and this time it’s a prequel! http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Al-Pacino-Wants-To-Kill-Baby-Jesus-11900.html

Uhh so this is an odd project. Current Hollywood flavour of the week Camilla Bell has just been cast to play Mary, the queen of the virgins. The film is called MARY, MOTHER OF CHRIST and will look to capitalize on the same set that made Mel Gibson the richest religous zealot alive.
I'm unfamiliar with the details of Mary's story so some of these names are unfamiliar to me. The casting is as follows: Jonathan Rhys Meyers will play the double role of Gabriel and Lucifer, while Peter O'Toole is set as Symeon, the dude who meets Mary in the temple after she gives birth to JC. Director Alejandro Agresti is also in talks with Al Pacino and Jessica Lange for the respective roles of Herod and Anna the Prophetess. Hurm?
Anyways I'm sure this flick will appeal to a very specific demographic--i.e. not me. Although the filmmakers are promising that this won't be some cheesy Hallmark retellling of Mary's life and instead a unique look at her as a young woman, the triumph of her giving birth and her survival of Herod the Great's reign. Maybe there's hope afterall. http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=25018

A feature film about Jesus Christ’s mother, Mary, is scheduled to begin shooting in May and slated for a spring 2010 release through MGM, according to industry insiders.
Cast to play the widely revered figure in “Mary, Mother of Christ,” is Camilla Belle, who stars in the recently released sci-fi action movie “Push.” Jonathan Rhys Meyers, meanwhile, who starred alongside Scarlett Johansson in the dramatic thriller “Matchpoint,” will reportedly take on the double role of Gabriel and Lucifer.
Mary Aloe, one of the film’s producers, told the Hollywood Reporter that the upcoming film would not be a Christmas movie, but a film on a part of Mary’s life that has never been shown on the big screen before.
“It takes us through Mary's youth, young love, her life as a new mother and the triumph through the absolute terror of Herod the Great's reign,” she said. “It is truly a story of real female empowerment."
Though the last big Bible-based flick, “The Nativity Story,” pulled in only $37.6 million after its December 2006 release, “Mary” producers are likely hoping for figures closer to the $370 million that Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” racked up in 2004.
Alejandro Agresti (“The Lake House”) has been picked to direct the film and Media 8 Entertainment, which is debuting the project in Berlin at the European Film Market, will handle international sales and distribution, according to Hollywood Reporter.
Filmmakers have also reportedly been trying to recruit Al Pacino and Jessica Lange for the respective roles of King Herod and Anna the Prophetess, who prophesied about Jesus Christ at the Temple of Jerusalem. According to Variety magazine, the two Hollywood stars are in talks with Aloe Entertainment, which is putting together the New Testament ensemble for “Mary.”
MGM plans to release the film wide in 2,000-plus theaters April 2, 2010, which coincides with Good Friday.
Из киносайта okolokino.net. Оригинал сообщения находится здесь. Вы можете оставить комментарий. Как стало известно в начале февраля, Голливуд, видимо, окрыленный успехом «]]>Страстей Христовых]]>», задумывает новый библейский проект. Драма, релиз которой намечен на май 2010 года, будет называться «Мария, мать Христа». Камилла Белль (на фото; сыграла в недавней ленте «]]>10 000 лет до н.э.]]>») должна исполнить главную роль, а среди участников проекта также называют имена Аль Пачино, Джонатана Риса-Майерса, Питера О‘Тула и Джессики Лэнг.
Ещё два актёра точно утверждены на свои роли: звезда сериала «Тюдоры» Джонатан Рис-Майерс перевоплотится одновременно в архангела Гавриила и в Люцифера. Ветеран кино Питер О`Тул предстанет в образе Симеона, встретившего Марию после рождения Иисуса.
Снимать фильм будет аргентинский режиссёр Алехандро Агрести («Дом у озера»). Сценарий «Марии» написали Бенедикт Фицджералд, приложивший руку к драме Мэла Гибсона «Страсти Христовы», и Барбара Николози.
Студия MGM, финансирующая картину, ведёт переговоры с Аль Пачино и Джессикой Лэнг. Продюсеры хотят видеть звёзд в ролях царя Ирода Великого и Анны Пророчицы.
Одна из продюсеров фильма, Мэри Л. Алоэ, не боится скромных сборов другой картины на подобную тематику, вышедшей под Рождество 2006 года. «Божественное рождение» с бюджетом в 35 миллионов собрал в Штатах всего 37 миллионов.
«У нас совсем не рождественское кино, – поясняет Алоэ. – Мы покажем часть жизни Марии, которую раньше никогда не видели на большом экране. Это будет фильм о её юности, первой любви, о жизни после рождения сына и трудностях, которые ей пришлось претерпеть в связи с правлением жестокого Ирода. Это настоящая история усиления роли женщины в обществе».

If that sounds like a scene from a movie, there’s a reason. Aloe makes movies. One of the most prolific female film producers in Los Angeles, she has produced movies starring Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, James Cromwell, Sharon Stone, Kim Basinger, Laurence Fishburne, and Matthew Perry, to name a few.
Aloe talked with us about the movie she’s working on now with MGM Studios, Mary, Mother of Christ, by the writer of The Passion of the Christ.This is my biggest movie so far. My partner and I bought the rights to the script in July. Nine drafts later, I have Al Pacino as Herod, Jessica Lange as Anna the prophetess,Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Gabriel and Lucifer, Camilla Belle as Mary, andPeter O’Toole as Simeon.
We have a 2,000-theater release and own the foreign rights as well. We’ll be filming this fall in Morocco with a November 2010 release date.While this movie certainly makes sense in terms of business, there’s a greater purpose to what I’m doing. It’s a phenomenal story about a young woman who, against all odds and against a reign of terror under King Herod, was able to survive. This movie is like coming home for me.
It brings me back to the foundation that inspired my journey to begin with. And the journey is the destination. We have to remember that. Prayer is so important, particularly in the times we live in. I had a lot of good schooling in the power of prayer from my mother, church activities, and Principia. Something else Principia impressed upon me was the need to be my best. There were no limits - I didn’t have a ceiling.
I didn’t come to Los Angeles thinking, "Well, as a woman, there’ll be things I can’t do." On the contrary, between my mother, who has been a great influence, and Principia, I felt I could do anything. It starts with the foundation of prayer and believing in God, with knowing that there’s a greater power out there and that we live in that power every day.
Principia taught me not to accept "No," but to take on challenges and navigate through them instead. Believe me, I’ve had my ups and downs. What I do is very tough; I don’t want to fool anyone into thinking it’s easy. But if you love what you do, you’ll do it well, and success will come - the money will come, the fruition will come, the abundance will come. As hard as it’s been to get to this point, I’m glad I didn’t settle for something else. I always wanted to be either a talk show host or a producer. Those were my A dreams, and I’m doing my A dream.

Похоже Джонатан и правда не будет тут сниматься LOS ANGELES—After a global search, Aloe Entertainment and director James Foley have found “Joseph”. With over 900 established and unknown actors vying for the coveted role, Diogo Morgado has been cast as Joseph in “Mary, Mother of the Christ”. He joins an all-star cast including Camilla Belle (“10,000 B.C.” and “Push”) as Mary, Academy Award winner Al Pacino (“The Godfather” and “Scarface”) as King Herod, Golden Globe winner Peter O’Toole (“Lawrence of Arabia” and “Venus”) as Symeon and Julia Ormond (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and “Legends of the Fall”) as Elizabeth. The film’s award winning director James Foley (“Confidence”, “Glengarry Glen Ross” and “Perfect Stranger”) says of Morgado “We saw a huge amount of young actors and a couple were great. We thought we finished our search when a tape appeared with this incredible guy. A major future star walked in the room and I met him, read him and knew we had found THE one.” Though unknown for the most part to U.S. audiences, Morgado is one of the most recognizable actors in Portugal. Now in his 20’s, since his first professional screen engagement 15 years ago, Morgado has constantly been working in Film and television. This year, Morgado appears in critically praised performances in “Star Crossed—Amor em Jogo” and “A Vida Privada de Salazar”, playing the title character Oliveira Salazar, the Prime Minister and dictator of Portugal who was highly influential in shaping modern Portugal. “Mary, Mother of The Christ” is Morgado’s first crossover to a U.S. production. From the writer and technical advisor of “The Passion of the Christ”, this is an action drama, youth oriented, faith based biopic that chronicles the epic journey of a young Mary and Joseph, their escape from the tyranny of King Herod’s reign and their preparation of young Jesus for his destiny. “Mary, Mother of the Christ” is produced by Mary Aloe through Aloe Entertainment (“Battle In Seattle”, “Tortured”, “When a Man Falls in the Forrest” and “While She was Out”) with producing partner Dune Films (“Babel”, “Hidalgo” and “Prince of Persia”).Mauricio Sanchez, Mike Dolan and James Volk are executive producers and Tim Van Rellim is the line producer. Casting was coordinated by Carla Hool (“Apocalypto”, “Man on Fire” and “Quantum of Solace”). Currently in pre-production, the film is scheduled to begin principal photography in the first week of October 2009. The film will be domestically distributed by the studio with an anticipated 2010 release in a guaranteed minimum of 2,000 theaters. Morgado is represented in the U.S. by Adam Park of The Park Noack Agency. http://mary-aloe.org/

April 18, 2010, 08:25 PM ET SANTA MONICA -- The mood at the Santa Monica Convention Center, scene of the 25th Association of Film Commissioners International trade show during the weekend, was upbeat even though a couple of natural disasters had some commissions on the defensive. The recession and its cutbacks have forced others to downsize.
Still, there were some who were jubilant after posting banner years -- they were displaying the banners to show for it -- as they looked for more good times.
California saw filming return to the state thanks to its tax credit, with the Tom Hanks dramedy "Larry Crowne" and Disney's "You Again" staying here expressly because of it. The state had a strong and unified presence at the show, something it learned from Canada, which in years past took up an entire row of the exhibit floor to make an impact.
This year, cuts in funding from the feds, among others, fractured Canada's presence. Still, that didn't stop the provinces from aggressively touting strong points like British Columbia's upped incentives (a 33% labor credit, a 17.5% animation and visual effect credit, and a new video game credit).
While Serbia's commission was riding high on an incentive package expected to be unveiled as early as this week, neighbor Hungary showed that it's not just about rebates: It showed off schematics of Raleigh Studios' soon-to-open Budapest facility.
Among the convention's highlights:
JORDAN
Having your country mentioned as a great place for moviemaking live in front of millions can do wonders. Just ask Jordan, which is coming off an awards season where the Jordan-shot Iraq War thriller "The Hurt Locker" won the best picture Oscar. The country has fielded many inquiries and seen a rise in scouting trips since then.
"Jordan is tried and tested now," says George David of Jordan's Royal Film Commission. "Locker" showed that the country's film infrastructure is up to snuff, and "safety isn't a concern as much as before," he adds.
As if to prove the point, the country's commission received another piece of good news during the conference: Aloe Entertainment's Bible drama "Mary Mother of Christ," starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Al Pacino, which was to shoot in Morocco, now will lense in Jordan.
